• Noah Lennox, who records under the name of Panda Bear, is an experimental musician and a founding member of Animal Collective. This is the title track and first single from his fourth solo album. He explained its meaning in an interview with UK's Sun newspaper: "The song is about me wanting to appreciate what I've got despite the fact that parts of my life work against each other and counterbalance each other.
  
  I've thought a lot about why I make music and who I make music for and my relationship with music over the past couple of years. I've also thought a lot about my life as a father and as a member of a family and of a circle of friends. The dots that connect all of these things are the subjects of the Tomboy songs."
• Panda Bear explained the Tomboy album title to Spinner UK: "A lot of the songs touch on the relationship of my life as a musician and my life as a person," he said. "The way those two things are constantly working with each other, or how I'm constantly juggling those two things. Lyrically, that was big.After I'd written maybe four sets of lyrics for the songs, I had this image of a tomboy as representing that whole juxtaposition of forces."
